I did indeed wind up going home yesterday. The old defective GI tract (especially, alas, the end I sit on) was hurting something fierce and I ached all over like I had the flu. Feel a bit better after collapsing for three hours upon getting home. Weird dreams notwithstanding - I dreamed that MC Hammer was standing in our kitchen wearing an apron and a red sparkly chef's hat over one of his genie-panted early 90s outfits, making stack after stack of pancakes. Like literally, every available surface of the kitchen had a plate with a steadily growing, if somewhat wobbly stack of pancakes on it. And we were trying to tell him it was okay, there was no way we could have eaten all those pancakes if we brought in the BesterMortons, their kids and a few other friends let alone the six of us. And I shit you not, Hammer's only response to the pleas to stop making pancakes was "STOP. BREAKFAST TIME." I woke up from this enough to slur the above to sundart and to resolve to post this to LJ when I actually woke up. Ye gods, but my head is an extremely fucked up place sometimes. Afterwards, back asleep, thankfully this time relatively dreamlessly.

Still feeling listless today, even after going back to sleep for a couple more hours yesterday after the above and getting pretty much a full night last night. It's sunny today (albeit COLD - 'sup 28 degrees??) so that should help with the whole unmotivated thing, though I think the anemia monster is raising its ugly head again. Which would make sense considering last week's Moses-must-part-the-Red-Typhoon celebrity batshit circus. I'll also have to find some way of boosting my iron without the help of the clot-promoting evil green leafies. And yes, I've already considered the possibilities of 1) rare steak and lots of it (expensive) and 2) feasting on the corpses of my multitudinous enemies (illegal, gross, and honestly, I don't have THAT many enemies or people I want dead) 3) suppliments (paranoid of taking anything without clearing it with a doctor first). Still, may ask Ann about it tomorrow, and in the meantime maybe I can get people to cook stuff using the cast iron skillet, lol.

I'm trying to actively take control of my money management these days, as I need to crawl out of my debt and actually start saving for my end of the proposed Real Camp Amoeba we're all starting to plan on having in a few years, not to mention a couple of long-term side projects I've got in the works. Plus I have a couple of expensive things to plan for this year... trips to various places and people to see once I get there, my harmanhay dress (which I need to sketch out)... we'll see where I come out by the end of the year. *crosses fingers* I just really hope I end up in a MUCH better place financially than I am right now. *sigh* of course I still feel like Once and Future Crap, and am debating staying home and working today... which is not going to help my pocketbook any.

And now, these messages.

I feel you on the finance thing. My tax refund is helping grease the skids a LOT, but I'm still struggling to get us where I want us to be. Dunno about you, but with me every. Single. Time I start to get ahead something vital and ridiculously expensive happens. This year The Hobbit and I will both need root canals, costing me about $3000 AFTER our dental insurance pays their share. And people wonder why I make kink videos...
